TSC Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders: including learning, behaviour, autism and anxiety

These educational events were held in August and September 2018 for people with TSC, their family members and interested health professionals. TSA also worked with our TSC Professionals Network members to hold events specifically for health professionals to increase their understanding of TAND. These reached over 500 Australian health professionals.

  • our venue partners, Women’s and Children’s Hospital Adelaide, the Translational Research Institute in Brisbane and Sydney Children’s Hospital for providing our wonderful meeting rooms;
